[A group of infected approach Manousos in the jungle after he leaves his car, about to cross the Darién Gap. The dialogue is in Spanish]
Manousos. Please don't do this. The Darién is too dangerous. It's over 100 kilometers to Panama, and there are no marked trails. The forecast this week is not conducive to hiking. It's going to be over 38 degrees with 98% humidity. And we don't mean to harp on hydration, but clean water is not going to be easy to come by. The tropical forest houses a remarkable diversity of snakes, spiders, insects, and many are quite venomous. And then there are the chunga palms. The spines can grow up to 20 centimeters long, and they're covered in bacteria. Even the smallest cut could lead to a fatal infection. Look around you. All these items were left by people who could carry them no further. Please, Manousos. We can take you anywhere you want to go. How about New Mexico? Isn't that where you're going, to visit Carol Sturka? We could get you there by nightfall, we could even transport your car. We know how much it means to you.
[takes out a gasoline canister from the trunk of his car and douses the car with it] Nothing on this planet is yours. You cannot give me anything, because all that you have is stolen. You... [ignites a lighter] don't belong here.
[Manousos lights the gasoline on his car, setting it ablaze and walking past the group of infected]
